xen/blkfront: use blk_rq_map_sg to generate ring entries
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On occasion, the request will apparently have more segments than we
fit into the ring. Jens says:

> The second problem is that the block layer then appears to create one
> too many segments, but from the dump it has rq->nr_phys_segments ==
> BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST. I suspect the latter is due to
> xen-blkfront not handling the merging on its own. It should check that
> the new page doesn't form part of the previous page. The
> rq_for_each_segment() iterates all single bits in the request, not dma
> segments. The "easiest" way to do this is to call blk_rq_map_sg() and
> then iterate the mapped sg list. That will give you what you are
> looking for.

> Here's a test patch, compiles but otherwise untested. I spent more
> time figuring out how to enable XEN than to code it up, so YMMV!
> Probably the sg list wants to be put inside the ring and only
> initialized on allocation, then you can get rid of the sg on stack and
> sg_init_table() loop call in the function. I'll leave that, and the
> testing, to you.

[Moved sg array into info structure, and initialize once. -J]
